Book description:In a society where
she doesn't belong, Senona Montez, a strong-willed and free-spirited woman
refuses to follow the path expected of a Don's only child.

On the eve of her
marriage to a stranger, she saddles her horse and flees everything she knows,
only to discover the petty concerns of society did not prepare her for the
harsh life on the open sea. She finds an unlikely protector in a reckless
privateer, Brant Foxton.

Straddling the
worlds of independence and privilege in 1600's Europe, this captivating man
challenges her in ways she never thought possible, shows her what living to the
fullest really means, and allows her to follow her heart wherever it leads.

My review:What impressed me most about Heart Like an Ocean was the author. It is a historical romance novel, and yet, Christine Steendam is in her twenties. Maybe it's the values, which I see so rarely nowadays, and the fact she wrote a compelling and heartfelt novel without resorting to gratuitous language and sex.Heart Like An Ocean takes you on a true adventure across the seas with fascinating and stubborn characters you'll want to shake your fists at in frustration, but cheer for them at the same time.The story does not fall into an anticipated pattern, which while surprising, was also refreshing, as I dislike ordinary. Usually I can predict how a novel will end by the first three chapters, but I have to admit Ms. Steendam shocked me. Well done, Christine! And... I demand a sequel!

Christine has been
writing stories since she could put pen to paper and form words. Now, many
years later, her debut novel is scheduled to be released and her second book is
in the works.

Christine has spent
the better half of her life owning and working with horses, and these four
legged companions often find their way into her stories. After all, no work of
women’s fiction would be complete without a horse or two (in Christine’s
opinion at least).

She currently makes
her home in the center of the world—no, really. Look at an atlas.
